Filter Play

Remembering the Red Water Tower, how much can B&W filters change the image?  And Which filter would you choose?

Opposite colors darken the color in your Image.  So a green filter makes the red tower the darkest:



A Yellow Filter darkens the tower just a bit less:


A Red filter over exposes the Image, making the red too bright; but yields the dark sky that we use a red filter to enhance:



I'd take the Green filter and play with it a bit more in the darkroom..........What's your choice?
